  JUICY MOVES – Please wear socks, and you’ll find it easiest in leggings and knee pads if you have them.

• Can I bring children to the adult classes?

  There will be a small area with some books and toys in the main hall, where children can play while you dance. Children remain your responsibility at all time, and must be accompanied if using the toilet or entering the foyer.

  If your children are very young or prone to wandering this might not be a good option for you, however they are also welcome to be near you if you dance at the back of the group and it doesn't impact on others enjoyment of the class. If you have an older child who will be participating in the class, please purchase an entry for them too. (Unless they are covered by your weekend pass).

• Can my children attend a kids class if they are older or younger than the ages stated?

  To get the optimum experience it is preferred that children stick to the class ages as described. However if you can't make the time slot that matches your child's age, please book the spot you need and just be mindful that your child may not be as challenged, or as capable as they would be in their own age group. If you are happy that they simply have an opportunity to experience a dance class, that's fine by us.

  If you have siblings who want to dance together, choose the session that you think will work for their ages. Please note that there will be a simple play are where kids can hang out while waiting for siblings to take their class too.
